      Working at United Way provides rewards that exceed compensation.

      Pros

      United Way provides a great work environment. The people are professional and engaged, and the benefits very good for a non-profit organization. The mission and goals, to make lasting change in the lives of people, provide a reward beyond the compensation.

      Cons

      Past situations that have cast negative light on United Way, primarily due to actions of individuals, create an unfavorable perception by some members of the public with whom we are trying to work. Because this is a non-profit, and working to keep overhead costs at a minimum, most employees could likely earn more working in the corporate sector.

      Thanks for this perceptive and balanced review. We appreciate it! As you may know, United Way Silicon Valley merged with the United Way of the Bay Area in July, 2016. The combined organization is named United Way Bay Area. We were very pleased to be able to retain very talented fundraising, web design, front desk, and program staff during the merger. Their expertise, talent, and commitment have been invaluable assets as we consolidate our work in the 8 counties that surround the San Francisco Bay. We look forward to having them continue to grow in their careers with us for many years.
